Join Willie J. Young, Sr. Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement at the Community BLOC (Buckeyes Living Off-Campus) Party!
The Community BLOC Party is held during Welcome Week to introduce neighbors to community and city resources to assist in your time in Columbus. This event is for on-campus, off-campus and commuter students to come together and meet neighbors in the University District in a fun and casual environment!
We will also have free food and drinks available for all attendees!
Meet your neighbors, enjoy free food, activities and find resources available to you!
If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Off-Campus and Commuter Student Engagement at offcampus@osu.edu or 614-292-0100. Requests made one week in advance of the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
Event attendees may number in the hundreds.
Event volume may be heightened with sound amplification, pyrotechnics, or the sounds from a large crowd.
Event may include group activities, handshakes, and/or require attendee interaction.
